personally i was pissed to see the wii was graphically far inferior to 360 and ps3 but i find the controller very exciting and understand graphics isnt always king

So is a new controller method enough? bearing in mind the success and fun to be had with a DS which is essentially a portable N64 with touch screen.

Reality, is your negative outlook on nin based solely on wii's lack of horsepower? Do you think the hardcore will be dissapointed with what they get for their $250?

THe hardcore nintendo fanboys wouldn't be dissapointed with Nintendo even if their next system downgraded to N64 graphics becuase the decided to focus on nostalgia. They system would sell out even with a $200 price tag...

a lot of people(including you) complaint about anything that has to do with the ps3 and sony in general yet no one has any problem with that, but you complaint about ONE member here posting negative news about the wii or posting his honest opininon about the system.

Well, to answer your first question, no. :) Every since the Wii started Nintendo has told us it be the console wouldn't be Ps3 and 360 stuff. I was ok with that. The Cube had itself some power. Great looking games were made on it. Not just in graphics but in art. I have a more, well, criticism outlook to them cause as people have seen my opinions change, over time I have seen Nintendo's talk change too. So my opinion starts to change the more I watch and study the new behavior.

An example of this be like in E3 2005. Nintendo got on stage at E3 to tell people when they see the Wii's graphics they were going to say "..Wow". As I see it, this was a fan-service quote. Why? A lot of big numbers were pushed at E3 and Nintendo wanted people to be assured in them that they have more then just a remote in the works. Skip ahead to 2006/2007 and Miyamoto himself will say in quote what our eyes are already thinking, "its basically a GC." When it comes to the simple factor of horse power I have no problem with what the Wii has. Metroid, Mario, ect are still nice looking games. Not the GCN x2 stuff the Nintendo reps were whispering into the ears of the press but they still look good.

My criticism with the Wii's power is that I'm seeing two different Nintendo's when they talk about it. There's this older one saying "We can't show anything but between you and me..*nudge* ..its going to be "WOW" *wink*..and so affordable your grandma will buy one" then 1-2 years later your got a Nintendo saying "Yeah, basically a Cube, and its going to cost $250 for console. Closer to $400 if you want to do what we was working gamers up about in 2005." Which would be owning a signal system, one real game, at lest 1 more controller, a retro controller, with all the taxes. (I'm not even counting memory cards as I don't know for sure if they are needed or not for game saves right at launch) Which stills falls short of the Wii's 2005 image of a console 4 people are playing together because its inexpensive fun. A system grandma bought and put into her living room just to try out. Or this "wow" hardware at a "affordable" price. Sony gets criticize constantly cause they will lead you on like a dog walking on a treadmill. With the attentions of never filling everything they are leading you on about. And while some may not like the idea, Nintendo did nothing different from the past to present day. They told you what you wanted/needed to hear, and then did what they planned to do from the start. So I criticize their work cause its different from their talk. Some say I'm just negative about console games needing a DS to play, or giving GCN owners a cold shoulder to assure Nintendo's bigger plans. And I am. But I don't feel like I'm doing it out of a anti-biased against them. I do it cause I don't praise bad work or bad decisions. Which makes me seem like a hater among a crowed a worship ready gamers.

Now for the 2nd question, :sweat: simply put, I can not speak on behalf of the hardcore. Only myself and maybe people I think I'm accurate with. The hardcore are a mixed breed of gamers. As a hardcore, no price is to much for the system you want to play/support. Or at lest thats the impression I get when I look at all the guys lining up for PS3s. If Nintendo supplies these guys with a bone, they should predictably chew on it for hours continently.

I did feel the same way (kind off) but at lest I understand his position.

If you look at article again and read it through, you can see that the DS has been, as of now, the only reviled method of playing the game. So how you think I made that up I have no idea. If I was to go around in saying that you can use the remote as well then I would be making that up cause there is no "facts" stating such a thing. I simply posted a article, commented on how I want it to be feature and not a restriction, and you guys act like I made it up. People need to read for yourselves some and realize I said nothing the article didn't. If you did then you wouldn't be posting 2-3 pages of comments on your fictions and believing in it.

Yes, you have it correct mostly. From where I stand in the distance I think they made it much weaker then what they said they was going to and made it much more expensive then they hinting for. (There is in all reality no different then Sony did for the PSP). So I don't stand overly impressed with the hardware considering the price we are paying for a system that uses a remote. Though don't get me wrong, I'm pretty excited about how the remote works and really look forward to the future of the system. But even Seraph (Not calling ya out or anything :)) will agree that Nintendo is cashing in with the Wii launch price and pay for it accessories that should be free (retro controller). The only difference between us, though we share that same opinion on that, is he'll find a way to still be happy for them about it. I do not. I don't make a effort to be happy for someone who does that kind of stuff. Maybe if they were in dept. It be another story. But its out of greed. Being happy for them over that is like someone telling me to be happy for Sony for not dropping the price of the PSP. I'm just going to shake my head.

None the less, while I may not be hugging myself in love for the launch tactic of this system I do greatly look forward to the future it has. And when the price cuts start to happen and the launch titles meant to come out do so in the spring and summer, I will eagerly read reviews and watch movies on those titles.

To add my unwanted two cents into this thread, I'd say Reality makes some very good points, acting as the "disenfranchised nintendo fan" that accounts for a large slice of our regulars here at the Magicbox.

This thread is getting closed, but I wanna make one point:

DO NOT MAKE THREADS CALLING OUT OTHER MEMBERS AS FANBOYS.

It's pointless, and no one wants to come here and see three new threads where the whole point of the thread is to personally attack other members.

If you feel like someone's opinion should be challenged, do so in a thread. I know we all get caught up in the internets, but seriously, no one wants to see you fight another guy 'online.' So keep it to yourself or try to settle your differences via PM. If push comes to shove and the argument is getting more personal or violent, contact a mod. (tee hee)
